I can't really begin to describe how beautiful this place is. It closed in 1946 and gradually rotted away. In 1996 an entrepreneur bought it and in 2001 he got an English Heritage grant (£530k) to help refurbish it and turn into "The Old Famous Pump House" restaurant/pub. It seems that the money ran out though, and now lies abandoned again...
